Nutritional composition for providing relief from wine induced headaches

Abstract

A dietary nutritional supplement that provides relief for light to moderate wine consumers who experience headaches triggered by light to moderate wine consumption. The nutritional composition consists of at least one member selected from the group of ingredients consisting of: Molybdenum, Selenium, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Folic acid, Quercetin, and Vitamin E. Alternative embodiments may include nitrogreens. The ingredients for the composition form a synergy with each other to improve metabolism of wine constituents. A method of use requires six sequential weeks of administering the composition in pill form and in predetermined quantities with predetermined amounts of wine. A survey questionnaire is given to experimental subjects to help assess the efficacy of the nutritional composition.

What is claimed is:
